RE: Why would you ever leave the woods?
I get squirmy around 10:30am. My hunting buddies and I go into town to eat, we do a little work around the farm, watch some football if it's Saturday, and get back in the stand around 3pm.
I would go nuts sitting in the stand all day. However, I have killed the most deer in the middle of the afternoon in the rain. That is the only time I will hunt the mid-afternoon.
